The most used variations are the Secdecim Partis, the Sixteen Parts, which is displayed to the right, the Nova Tabula Totius Terrarum Sive Orbis, the New Map Of The World, which merges Terra Graecorum, Terra Arabiorum, and Terra Seleuciorum into Magna Mesopotamia, makes Insula Magna part of Terra Insularum, makes Terra Frigus part of Terra Scythiorum and Terra Nipponorum part of Asia.

abstract	There are many continents, and multiple variations. The map to the right displays 16 continents, but as has been said, there are many var iations. The most used variations are the Secdecim Partis, the Sixteen Parts, which is displayed to the right, the Nova Tabula Totius Terrarum Sive Orbis, the New Map Of The World, which merges Terra Graecorum, Terra Arabiorum, and Terra Seleuciorum into Magna Mesopotamia, makes Insula Magna part of Terra Insularum, makes Terra Frigus part of Terra Scythiorum and Terra Nipponorum part of Asia. Some less used maps, like the Magna Europa (Great Europe), make Terra Scythia and Terra Frigus part of Europa, or make them part of Asia (Magna Est Oriens, Great Is The East, does so). Magna Est Oriens also added Terra Nipponorum to Asia, and other maps have given Terra Frigus the upper part (the one that borders it) of Terra Nipporum. A mix of these various maps is also possible of course, and none is correct, everything is used. Currently, most people add Terra Scythiorum, Terra Frigus, and Terra Mauryorum to either Europa or Asia, and Terra Nipporum to Asia, but this can change in the next few decades (or years). However, Insulae Europae seems to be added more and more to Europa and some say that in the near future, Insulae Europae won't be used anymore. Do also note that, since there are no official borders, the exact borders of most continents are subject to much discussion, and maps only serve as a guideline of where the continents approximately are. Because of that, Magna Mesopotamia and the removal of Terra Frigus, Insulae Europae, and Terra Nipponorum is becoming more and more popular (along with the removal of Terra Scythiorum to a lesser extent, and to an even lesser extent, the removal of Terra Mauryorum).
